¶1delivered the opinion of the court.
¶2Thomas Farrar, for the use of Samuel F. Ilollowaj, brought suit, by petition and summons, against Nancy C. Langridge and Thomas II. Alexander, on a bond for twelve hundred dollars, dated the 26th of April, 1858, “bearing ten per cent, interest from the 25th of day of December, 1857.”
¶3The defendants demurred to the petition, because the breach was not large enough, and because petition and summons cannot be sustained on the bond for its being “an obligation to pay a specified sum of money, and interest at ten per cent., from a day anterior to its date.” The court overruled the demurrer, judgment was rendered, and defendants appealed.
¶4The breach is in the words of the statute, and covers principal and interest. Cail vs. Brookfield, 4 Ark., 554.
¶5No reason is given why the bond will not sustain the action : we know of none.
¶6It is suggested for the appellants that the bond is usurious. We do not see bow ; and if so, that objection is not presented by the demurrer and could not be. Howell vs. Vansant, 2 Eng. 146; Jennings vs. Willamowicz, ib. 277; Pilsbury vs. McNally, 22 Ark. 409.
¶7Farrar having died during the litigation, the suit was revived in the name of Cobbs, his executor.
¶8Judgment affirmed.
